McMillan stocks to Canada

Thanks for that.

What's the weight of the stock like? Is it hefty enough that it doesn't want to fall on it's face with the heavier contour tube?

Just seen you're in Peace River. Perhaps we can meet up and I can have a look at that stock sometime?
 
I just received notice my stock is ready to ship...

Your stock is ready to ship, but unfortunately an export license is now required, please read the notice below and let me know how you would like to proceed.

EXPORT Notice:

Unfortunately, due to recent determinations at the US Department of State, McMillan fiberglass stocks now require an export license to ship internationally. McMillan understands that there may be varying country requirements and wishes to make the export process as painless as possible.

To export out of the US you will need to purchase an export license and certain countries also require an Import Certificate, which we will need a copy of. If an Import Certificate is not required, then a document must be signed stating so. The export license is usually valid for 48 months and it can be used for one or multiple stocks being shipped to the same address.

Here are some options:

1.) Purchase your own Export License through McMillan Fiberglass Stocks

$250.00 (U.S. State Department fee for the license; we do not charge any additional processing fee). McMillan has an onsite export manager with experience in exporting internationally.

2.) Go through your own Exporter here in the United States

(you pay them direct; and we will need the original export license and documents required) ( Export License MUST list our stocks and MUST name us a the source/manufacturer)

3.) Have your stock(s) shipped to one of our Export/Import dealers in your country

(for an additional fee to be determined - depending on value, weight, quantity, destination)

However she can not supply me with any Canadian importers right now... in negotiations and not set up yet... I am supposed to get back to her in a couple of weeks...
 
I know some people ready to do some educating since they invented the process. Not space level stuff but close. There are a few people that can do it in their sleep, in Ottawa.

Do you mind if I ask what date you ordered this particular stock on?
 
As per Eileen's email I just received....

Try contacting Corlane Sporting Goods, they have an export license for our stocks and may import it for you.

Just waiting for Corlanes to respond regarding import charge.

Just be aware that you could lose the stock to customs. We have been negotiating with Kelly McMillan for over a month now on this very issue.
We HAVE all the export licenses in place, the problem comes from CBSA and CRA rules. We are not allowed to "broker goods" on behalf of others as we are not licensed as brokers. The paper trail must be documented as being an order from X company being "owners" of the product in order to lawfully "broker" the goods, pay the GST/HST and then recoup the GST/HST from the customer. To have YYY named as purchaser and then shipped to ### as the end user can create some problems if the CBSA officer is sharp and actually knows the legal aspects.
Essentially in order for us to lawfully import on behalf of other entities, we or someone would have to become a McMillan distributor.

Thanks for clearing this up Rick. As this was suggested by McMillan themselves I figured this issue was resolved and everything was in place to legally start shipping to Canada again. I guess I was wrong. Any ETAs?

We are getting stocks in almost daily that we have ordered. What I need McMillan to do is to understand that both CBSA and CRA have been most specific as to what can and can not be done on our end.
Whether it means having stocks that are already ordered but not paid for simply having the name changed to reflect the stock as our order so the paperwork all jives, then the customer pays us, which we then forward to McMillan has been suggested. On stocks that are paid for already directly, the payment would need to be reversed and then processed through us so as to maintain the paper trail.

Until we can get McMillan to understand the rules set in place by CRA and CBSA we are at a stalemate. I am trying to get this problem resolved for both McMillan and for the Canadians who have stocks on order as this export issue is not going to solve itself.

Thanks for keeping us informed. Looking forward to seeing this resolved.
 
My McMillian will be shipping out next week. Eileen from McMillian gave me Corlane's as the people to contact about having my stock imported. Additional cost will be $100 for Corlanes to bring it in for me. I also looked into having Prophet River do it. Cost would be less ($50 to import) but it would be a longer wait with a little paperwork on my end. At least I'll have it before hunting season is over.
